The muscular localization of echinococcus is very rare. most often the diagnosis is made late as the clinical signs are mild and not very suggestive. The diagnosis is based on ultrasound which remains the paraclinical examination of choice and is confirmed by histology. We present a retrospective study of a serie of 15 isolated and primary hydatid cyst cases in peripheral muscles between 2010 and 2020. The diagnosis was made by ultrasound. All of our patients underwent surgical excision of the hydatid cyst associated with anti-helminthic treatment.
